"We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."
Well, at least the NRA laid bare their insanity, their insensitivity and their complete detachment from reality. Can we please stop pretending that these immoral idiots are a legitimate political voice worth considering? What awful, awful people.

You would think the ACLU would make for much better public advocates but they don't consider the Second Amendment a "civil liberties issue". So we all get stuck with the NRA and its multi-billion dollar agenda instead.Quoting Brude (view post)
Well, I mean, strictly speaking, the second amendment concerns only "well regulated militia," so maybe that isn't considered a civilian issue by them.

See this is why I will never be a member of the NRA despite being pro-gun. Well that and the fact that I've always felt they represent gun makers and not actual hunters or gun owners.

That is in fact how they claim to interpret the amendment. However, that is no longer how SCOTUS interprets the amendment. The ACLU took a lot of heat - and justifiably so - for refusing to change their stance in the wake of the decision in D.C. v Heller in 2008 which held that the right to bear arms was an individual right rather than a collective one. They still cling to an outdated interpretation of the constitution because they would rather not advocate for the second amendment for purely political reasons. Their stance is silly and hypocritical and a profound black eye on an otherwise exemplary organization. The ACLU shouldn't be picking and choosing which amendments it wishes to support.Quoting number8 (view post)
Well, first off, the militia would be every citizen. Second, the phrase "well regulated" essentially meant "well oiled" or "well calibrated", not the meaning of the word regulate as we use today.Quoting number8 (view post)
Also, those who interpret it straight as a collective militia right, and not an individual right, better understand that a militia to be effective would need to be armed with high powered rifles.
So, yeah, damned if you do damned if you don't when it comes to trying to squeeze the second amendment down.
I have not forgotten the fact that just a few months ago in New York two "good guys" with a gun tried to stop a bad guy with a gun and shot 9 innocent bystanders instead.

Absolutely, Spinal. Its a repulsive organization. This doesn't take away from the fact that luckily hunters have actually decent pro-hunter conservation groups to donate to. Ones that don't profit off the suffering and misery of people.
Didn't the Connecticut shooter have body armor on? Yeah unless you arm teachers with arm piercing bullets giving them guns won't do jack and or shit in that case.

Sad to hear about the Webster Fire Incident.
Volunteers responded to a fire call, only to be shot at by someone. He killed two firefighters, and injured two others. Sounds like police shot him down afterward.
Supposedly he shot himself. And the bastard's sister is still unaccounted for. She apparently lived with him. We figure at this point there was no one else in the other homes that were destroyed.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
Horrifying. This happened about 4 or 5 miles away from where I live. I get to work at the news station and the poor morning producer had been on for 12 hours. I had it relatively easy, but this is definitely one of the worst things to happen here in a long time. I was on by myself late one night two years ago this month when two officers were shot. Thankfully both survived and are back to work.
Many years ago we had an officer shot in the head, twelve days later Flight 3407 crashed in Buffalo and two days later another psychopath killed four people across two counties.
That's about the worst period ever in my career, but in the past year I'm just starting to feel worn down by this crap.

Gun rights activists created a White House online petition to deport Piers Morgan from America for advocating gun control on CNN.
That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Piers was hoping it'd get enough signatures. He tweeted how many there were to go.
That is true, heh. I remember a while back posting that despite his many faults, Larry King was still much better doing that exact same program.Quoting Isaac (view post)
